Installing The Stove; Importance Of Proper Draft - Appalachian Stove & Fabricators Trailmaster 4N1-XL Installation And Operation Procedures

6. INSTALLING THE STOVE

(A) Slide the stove into the fireplace, centering it
within the fireplace opening.
(B) Push the stove back until the trim panels are
firmly against the face of the fireplace, compressing
the insulation and accomplishing a seal.
(C) Do not block air inlets on a factory-built fireplace.
(D) In a mobile home, the outside air connection of
the factory-built fireplace MUST be connected with
the stove's outside air connector.
(E) Be sure to use class A or type "HT" pipe.
NOTE: Be sure the damper opening of the stove lies
behind the lintel to prevent overheating of the
fireplace facing.
NOTE: If the floor of the fireplace is recessed, it
must be built up with non-combustible materials such
as brick, scrap metal, etc. The 4N1-XL should sit
level in the fireplace to function properly.
This completes the installation of your 4N1-XL
fireplace insert. Please refer to SECTIONS VIII and
IX for operation and maintenance instructions.
NOTE: THIS STOVE CAN BE POSITIVE (DIRECT
CONNECTED), IF PREFERRED OR NECESSARY.

2. Connect the flexible pipe to the top of the boot.
3. In some cases, the stove may need to be tilted
slightly backward in order to insert the flexible pipe
through the throat of the flue.
4. Wrap insulation around the pipe that is visible,
from the boot to the start of the flue.

7. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperature in
the appliance and may damage the catalytic
combustor. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing
into the room and "plugging" of the chimney or
catalyst.
NOTE: Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to
leak smoke into the room through appliance and
chimney connector joints.
